Default On The Road With The Giants..

Oooooon the road again! The FlyingGiants are currently road trippin' throughout the midwest on a two week train wrecker starting out in Dayton at the DOGS fly-in. The rain didn't stop us from having a great time, and instead pushed us to stay another week to cover the Thistle Down fly-in.. In between, our friend JagerBomb, AKA Mark Trent, kept us entertained during the downtime in St. Louis ala Budweiser Brewery tour and more. A stop in Detriot will hook us up with Animal Jesky for some instructional Groundschool content, and more. Thursday we'll be in Napoleon for all the action, and possibly another webcast! BTW, re-broadcast of the DOGS webcast is currently playing at the link below. Having a great time out here and can't wait to see all our friends this weekend. If you can't make it, don't fret, we'll bring it back to ya right here on FG!

FG-LIVE! Coverage of The 2006 DOGS Re-broadcast here:

HAHA... I bet it would be impossible for MAX to drowned in a VAT of beer...

I bet it would be like Doug McKensie in strange brew... he falls in, drinks the entire vat,
and then is used by the St. Louis fire department to put out a raging warehouse fire!!


hahahaa

During the tour we found out the vats are so big that if you drank a case a day it would take you 104 years to empty the vat. Max is good but................
